Is it possible to import a Home Inventory Pro 2001 back-up file by Radium Technologies into Home Manager? I recently purchased a new PC and attempted to migrate my inventory in Home Inventory Pro 2011 into my new PC and found I was prevented form doing so as it appears Radium Technologies is no longer in business. I have a large inventory that took years to document and I am trying to avoid re-doing my inventory line item by line item. I am evaluating the Free Trial version of Home Manager.

=== ANSWER ====

If you are able to export the Home Inventory Pro 2011 data to CSV format it can be imported into HomeManage using the FILE > IMPORT command from the main menu. If anyone wishes to email us a CSV file from Home Inventory Pro we can do a video on how to import this data and maybe make some changes to the import if necessary to simplify the process.

I am one of those inquiring about importing a backup file from Home Inventory Pro 2011. Radium Technologies folded and left customers high and dry. Can you provide a video and the capability to import Home Inventory Po 2011 back-up files? If so, this would definitely convince me to purchase you HomeManage product and avoid having to start over on my inventory of thousand of books, CDs, Blu Ray Discs that too me 5 years to complete.

I also have the Home Inventory Pro 2011 (HIP) with many years of input data. The software does run without issues but I am looking to replace it in the near future since support and upgrade have stopped. However, re-entering all the data is just too time consuming. If I am correct, I am not the only one that has the import and export issues with Home Inventory Pro 2011. If your company can create a special import module for HIP, I am sure you will win over many existing HIP owners and I will be one of them.

I HAVE A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO DO A WINDOWS RESET AFTER APPARENT RANSOMWARE INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RELOAD THE HOME INVENTORY PRO SOFTWARE BUT NOT ACTIVATE IT TO USE THE PROGRAM. I HAVE A BACKUP COPY OF THE DATA ON A JUMP DRIVE; IS THERE A WAY TO CONVERT THAT DATA TO THE ".CSV" FORMAT SO IT CAN BE IMPORTED INTO YOUR PROGRAM? I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION AS THE POSTER OF THE INITIAL QUESTION; I HAVE ABOUT FIVE YEARS OF ENTERED ITEMS / DATA THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAVE AND USE. THANK YOU.

I think that there are more than a few people who are stuck in this situation. I know it is not your company's responsibility but I am pretty sure in today's computing environment that there would be programmers or white hat hackers who would know how to deal with this issue. I do not know how many original purchasers there would be of the HOME INVENTORY PRO 2011 program but i am pretty sure they would be willing to pay some reasonable fee to someone at your company to provide some solution to this problem. You would as well gain, I am pretty sure, numerous previous users for whom, it appears, there are not many similar alternatives in the software market; your product and perhaps one freeware product that looks somewhat similar. Is there someone at your company that could be contacted to see if we could find / advance a solution for this. Thank you.

Home Inventory Pro 2011 - Same situation, Windows 10 reset and after reinstalling Home Inventory Pro 2011, could not register my license key. If you have a backup though of your C:\ProgramData\Radium Technologies, try to restore just this folder and all subdirectories and overwrite the existing folders. Then launch program and Import from backup. I was surprised this actually worked. I was also lucky to have created a local backup using Easeus.com to-do Free backup utility and mount my backup to recover the folder.

I then proceeded to check the various export options and unfortunately, they do not allow for a CSV export and the Export within has the extension (*.hixz) but I could not open it.

I was able to Export the inventory Report to PDF, then use a PDF converter to convert it to EXCEL. With Some cleanup, I should be able to export it as a CSV. According to Tech support, I may be able to then import this into their system.... Inventory Type is a header though, so I assume I many need to do more separation into rows.

i understand most of what you posted but i dont understand how you can "launch the program and import from backup"; when i start my program it asks me to register the program before going any further as my "30 day trial has expired"; of course i cant register the program so i cant go any further. How did you get around not registering your licence key? I have a backup data file on a jump drive. I had to so windows 10 reset also and reloaded the program after that. A little confused about how you launch the program when you cant do the licence registration key process to get to the actual program; thanks for any information that would clarify.
